 Hi everyone, a very good afternoon to all of you. Today is a very, very special YouTube life because we have the official UGC net question paper with us, the exam that happened on 6th of December 2023. We have the question paper right with us along with the answer key and we are going to go through the entire question paper and see what kind of questions were asked and if you are planning to prepare for June 2023 then I have some very key insights to share with all of you so that you exactly know how to streamline your preparation. Also just a small time check. Right now the time is today is 6th of January Saturday and time is 1.22 pm so those of you who keep asking me whether it's a live or it's a recorded session just telling you it's live. I am going live on 6th of January 2024. Okay so a small quick technical check if you guys can you know put in the comment section if you can see my screen clearly and can hear me clearly. If everything is set we can directly dive into the topic and talk about the question paper and I also have a lot of insights with you. I'm going to tell you how we are going to streamline the entire live today plus I am also going to be talking about the expected cutoff and a lot of other information related to the exams. Labani has already joined. Good afternoon Labani. Anuradha says good afternoon. Vaishnavi says I barely remember my answers it was my first attempt no problem Vaishnavi we have the question paper and answer key with us right now so don't worry about what you have marked we can you know just focus on understanding the kind of questions they were asking and how you can upskill yourself for the June attempt. Preeti says good afternoon good afternoon Preeti I hope you guys can you know see my screen clearly and can hear me if yes please put that in the comment section. Subhashri says we'll be able to watch the session later. Yes Subhashri this will be available on YouTube in the live you know live tab you can go and watch this again. Sakshi says my marks my marks are 146 out of 300 and I am from EWS any chance it's not a very very safe score Sakshi to be very honest I would not say it's a bad score also but then it's a very very dicey place where you are right now because there is a slight chance that you might clear if the cutoff is not as we are expecting if it is slightly lower than you might clear but we can't confirm anything off now as of now. Great so a lot of people have already joined and they have started commenting so we can directly dive into the topic I'm not going to waste your precious time and we'll start with a few questions so what I have done is I have selected a couple of questions I think there are more than 70-80 questions that are selected and I've also written down some pointers that I want to present on my part so the purple colored box that you see is basically for those who are already registered and are a part of our online course so for them I have written that this writer or this topic exactly where I and for those who are doing self-preparation I have a pink-colored box so okay great so So first of all we'll see this question which is the reason I'm not talking about Dalit literature question because later on I'm going to talk about them so I'm starting directly from the second question that is Edgar Elinpo so Edgar Elinpo as you know is a very very famous short story writer from American literature now I would really want to I would really want you to go through the syllabus once so that you don't miss out on the writers okay and where do you find this you go to so this page is going to open and right here okay and I'll keep showing you right here very important writer okay so please keep on noting down the writers also if you look at this question it's a very very easy question because moving ahead to the next topic next question that is English poet Indian English poet which is module number five we talk about Kamala Das so right here you will see Kamala Das here Indian English poet so so there are 20 poets that we are teaching so 20 Indian poets moving ahead to the next question I have written this is a basic question from literary theory anyone who has basic understanding of theory should be able to answer this Frederick Jameson again a very very important thinker I'm so sorry for this Frederick Jameson we were talking about Edward Saeed so Edward Saeed you will meet here Frederick Jameson is a very important post modern writer who you don't have to read you have to see what his important works are because he has a lot of questions coming from his work another important writer who he has written who is Gene Baldwin you will also meet here Gene Baldwin in post modernism so moving ahead to the next topic which is Virginia Woolf question so a very simple tip for this which I would like to give to all the students who said this for whom is very very important so if you are only reading the novels of Virginia Woolf's main main novels they are going to read their summaries so that is not enough what is important is that you know what Virginia Woolf has said about which writers and what other writers have said about Virginia Woolf so both things are very important okay now a very very simple question I think Charles Dickens every time comes one or two questions so anybody who is not referring to all the works of Charles Dickens I think you guys really need to work hard on your preparation so Charles Dickens as many novels so right here the first novel is that we read under Victorian age is Charles Dickens paper we will see that they have asked the characters in the match of the following so it was very important that you study the novels of Charles Dickens very well okay moving ahead about the partition narratives this partition narratives basically is a segment of Indian literature in which India was independent and the partition of India Pakistan was partitioned at that time the writers have done agony in this partition period by depicting it these novels are written so if you see all the writers we cover them in Indian literature Shashi Deshpande Bharti Mukherjee these two are very important Indian novelists who you need to read Shashi Deshpande is right here Indian English novel and Bharti Mukherjee is also here Indian English novelist these two writers you need to read in detail that long silence is a feminist work and an extremely wonderful work which has come two three times direct questions so please ensure that you read this now moving ahead to this question number eight arrange the chronological sequence following works I don't know out of syllabus is nothing like this because all these works are part of cultural studies that we study in two places there is a section in literary theory where we talk about historicism and new historicism is also studied there and then we also have just a second these three writers in new historicism who read the cultural studies we also read in new historicism these are the works that are mentioned and apart from this cultural studies there is a whole module in which these are all important writers and you take this name just once we talked about Frederick Jameson up above when we were talking about post-modernism so Frederick Jameson these writers you will find here in cultural studies in major theorist calendar similarly these are all the works you see these are all the works of these writers so it is very important that you remember all the books of these writers you are reading critics you should remember all their books their titles okay only conceptual understanding cultural theory what is post-modernism what is only cultural studies of post-modernism will not be basic understanding you will have to dive in a little bit and you have to also look at important theorists who we have mentioned here these all have given what concepts have been given what terms have been coined and what books have they written you should know all the titles this question would be very easy for you if you knew the titles moving on to question number nine very amazing question i would term this as the most simplest question of the entire paper because there are characters and novels i'll tell you the answer is the simplest way if you have read these writers this is the work of margaret actwood the handmaid's tale chinua achybeka things fall apart tony morrison's beloved and british literature from george orville 1984 he gave a novel he gave four novels he gave post-colonial literature in british literature both if you had read these writers and his works then this question answer for you is very simple okay now those who are doing self-preparation for them what is important to keep in mind is that all the major works of any writer for example chinua achybe is a very famous post-colonial writer all the main works of them you have to study in detail study in detail means their important quotations you should know and their characters the diagram should be known i have also given pdfs in my course we give pdfs that i have analyzed the entire paper and the pdfs i feel are relevant to show you how i will be able to tell you how to make characters i have to make those pdfs i have collected in one place so that it becomes easier for you so like i give the example of tony morrison beloved you should know the basic information about this and then these are the characters if you will see here these are all the important characters in this whole video format you get video lectures this is a pdf of which we give students for ready reference so you see all these characters it is very important to remember their names because the questions you have are coming from them tony morrison's beloved that if you had made a character like this then it would have become very very easy for you to understand how to remember right okay so set character whose protagonist is he directly asked and he is here okay moving ahead 1984 let's see 1984 is right here where is just give me a second sorry so i was looking at 1984 in the numeric place in text so i search for it okay 1984 another very important dystopian novel now if we talk about the character of 1984 then you have to make character maps like this again the protagonist is asked by winston smith who is asked here so if you have made character maps like this you have to understand what is going on because mostly what happens when you will reach the end of the question paper you will see that so many novels have been asked in detail that if you make paragraphs and start remembering summaries then it will not be possible that's why what we suggest is that if you are preparing yourself then always have this in mind that you make such character maps so that you can remember very quickly plus the doubts of these characters sit in your mind okay now moving ahead to the next question again this question is very simple i have not discussed this because we are talking about literary theory literary theory and this is very much connected to postcolonial literary theory so same type of question so i am not going into the details because we have just talked about that if we have to solve this type of question postmodernism or postcolonial theory then you should have a basic understanding of literary theory if you have that then you can solve this question again it is the same question if it is a basic understanding then you can do then the question is on the Orientalism of the Edward side Orientalism is a very very important text which we cover in literary theory in the Edward side right here in postcolonial criticism you will see their important work now what is important here is that again if you have read Orientalism in detail then you can solve these questions very easily many students who were talking to me in English said that i put a lot of paper out of syllabus i have shown you all the questions of the question paper in this way by breaking down that all these topics are like this which are covered in our course because this is the part of the actual real syllabus of UGC net if you think the question paper is out of syllabus that means somewhere you don't know which writers you have to cover if you are reading British literature then whatever you see is out of the syllabus right now culture uh simple question of assertion reason again a very very simple question culture studies basic understanding that you can solve research methodology is a question module number 13 right here research methodology when we cover then this question we cover then comes the next topic which is Ezra Pound Ezra Pound for those of you who don't know Now I am like really really surprised that if you don't know Ezra Pound and you have covered American writers then that means you have read it from us so we talk about Ezra Pound in modern age in the time of T.S. Eliot so this is the question and again he has given a statement that Ezra Pound has said so the statement of Ezra Pound as we talked in the beginning is very important he gave the statement of Virginia Woolf as he gave the statement of Ezra Pound so all the writers are not only important in their summaries which he has said the lines which are important quotations have referred to someone he has commented on something like if we talk about the romantic age of Wordsworth so Wordsworth has given a definition of poetry by doing spontaneous overflow of emotions what is poetry actually is so this line is spontaneous overflow of emotion this is very important the line of Wordsworth and this is also not the whole line uh reconciled in tranquility they have told more that spontaneous overflow of emotions which when you do better than tranquility and you draft it is considered poetry so these types of important lines you have to include in your notes I will show you the samples of my notes in between so that you know how to make your notes now that we have seen this question on the character this is a very simple question means extremely simple I think if this question no one knows and he has not covered these writers that means his preparation has not been done at UGC net so I have shown you the examples of my notes here so that you know how to make character maps so this is the purpose of showing me that first of all I will break your one myth that the paper is not out of syllabus all these writers I am writing here that they are already covered in our course because they are asked every year so if you do not know that means okay moving ahead to the next question which is john claire question a very important writer john claire is a very minor writer because when you read Romantic Age then you read Byron Shelly that many people will read Robert Saudi more but people leave John Clair now I'll show you if you go to British literature so John Clair we are studying him for how many years because he has come to the net twice in Poets in the end we are not more important writer but it can be asked okay John Clair that I will show you pdf you are not confused that what you have to read in this John Clair we give only two pages of pdf only basic details we give about them more you know they do not give him once a question came that he is a farmer's son right farm laborer's son this question came and when this question came then I included John Clair in my online course and this time he sent a question on John Clair in which he gave John Clair poems and said identify and right here if you see then gypsies we have covered here okay so when you know the names of these poems you don't even need to know the names you know so you answer this question in a second self preparation is a very important thing study of minor writers are very important these questions are very easy for students who know some key points about these writers okay I have again you know pdf show you now in this question if you know one word about John Clair gypsies if you know you can identify that these are not writers it is John Clair which is the correct answer okay now again question number 16 is very important term in which we read it in literary theory literary theory post-modern age in which we read Jean Baldour just now I showed you in literary theory here he has given this term Simon Lacra okay so we read about this post-modern literature so again very important if you feel this term is out of syllabus that means you have not covered literary theory right now question number 17 which is very very dear to my heart which two cities are referred in Charles Dickens a tale of two cities I have seen and I have come across 10 students last day who have answered this question wrong and all the students who were enrolled in our course so we told them that please read the pdfs we are giving them very carefully and because they made a mistake in self-preparation so this time when they are enrolled in our course so they have seen the pdf of Charles Dickens and tale of two cities okay I will show you sorry tale of two cities in this the first line that we mentioned is historical fiction set in Paris in London opening line is the name of the protagonist and what is the backdrop any of them can be a question on any topic so you need to remember these facts very very important three books are their names once the question came in the net tale of two cities that these three three books are divided four names are not one of them so we added these things and in this way you then need to remember the story of the books you have to remember a very complicated story we have tried to explain it in very simple terms it can be that you don't understand because you can't tell you through the video when you watch the video then you understand the pdf within seconds so my point was historical fiction set in if you prefer this pdf then you can answer it in one second in London in Paris so self-preparation is a very important tip kindly note down important factual details of famous works if you know the tale of two cities then you will not be able to solve so whenever you make notes, please open and closing line is very important put in factual details put in the subtitle if it is, we will see a question on the subtitle important quotations put in important facts put in every pdf last we give you a section in which we put important quotations this weekly installments were published after math of friends revolutions inspired so it is very important to know all these lines okay so here i would just want to take a break because i know that students get very overwhelmed by pdf so i'll just take a break till now we have seen 17 questions and till now all the questions i would not term them as hard because as i just told you all these writers have been asking about very basic concepts if you don't know that means somewhere this is a writer's list it is very important to go through okay expected cut-off many people are asking about life so i would just want to tell you that this cut-off is what we believe is based upon the students who have given the paper in general category net cut-off will be around 58 percent jrf 64 percent ews 53 percent that's why now when the initial youtube life initial was asked

yeh lo kaheena kahe se question puch na hai to aapke tips pe hoona ok so literary groups not mentioned in syllabus but they ask questions from this section as well now question number 19 yeh kaisa question hai jiske chaaro writers haum ne cover nahi kare I will be very very honest jo cheez haum ne cover kari hai I mentioned that jo cheez haum ne cover nahi kari hai I will not shy away from telling you that this question mere students ansa nahi kar pahenge kyunki yeh question iske jitte bhi writers hai wo haum ne cover nahi kar hain ok so Amadip Sandhu, Shehnaaz, Bashir, Siddharth, Gigua and Mirza Vahil yeh chaaro writers haum apne cost ki andar aap pahana chalo karenge since they have asked a question from this topic that is the reason why jo main aapko expected cutoff ka list

theory and cultural studies dono main aam cover karte hai I Richard William Hoggart and Stuart Holland miss a con associated nahi hai cultural studies hai to agar aapne literary theory ko thoda sa bhi pada hain to aap yeh hi pe dekhlenge I Richard is a part of new criticism and not cultural studies ok very very simple question I think this is a question jo agar ki feeling se literary theory ke yeh jitte bhi writers ke naam hai yeh yad kaldi hote aur con kisne belong karta hai to boh aaram se yeh question sahi kaldita ok now we move ahead jo similar type ke question se me aam ko nahi dekh rahe ho because I really want ki me one one and a half hours ke aamder poore 100 questions cover karu to I have to be a little fast ok then agar hum baat karte hain is question ke again a very simple question character works pe question hai voodring heights white segora see great expectation voodring heights emily bronte ki hai great expectation Charles Dickens ki hai post-colonial literature se ino ne do diye gene rise ki white segora see and Chinua Achive ki things fall apart bohot important hai again I would say ki sir British literature pe focus mat kariye post-colonial literature se is baar ino ne bohot saare question bhi hai 10-15 questions diriki post-colonial literature se to bohot important aap unko bhi cover karin bohot important hai jese main aapko pehle ka ki sif summaries

hi saare characters jo yaha pe mention de ye aapko yad rahe ne chahiye ok so iss tari ke sa aap jo characters ko yad karte hain unke references ko yad karte to it becomes very very easy for you to like remember sorry ok wide se gora seek aaphi log bolte ki ye konsa text hai 2 saal pehle tak bohot baar UGC net wide se gora see se questions much let hain abhi ino ne pechle ek saal mein kum kar hain very very important novel because ye an official prequel hai charlotte dronte ki jain aaphi that's why ye post colonial novel ka ek bohot hi important go banjata hain novel banjata hain and that is the reason why iss ar panna bahar jeroon ye so iss types ki characters hain aur itne saare characters hai deki this these are just few novels which I am sharing with you inke te characters yad karne hain isi liye bohot important hai ki agar aap characters ki list banakke chale agar aap self preparation kar rahe hain taaki aap yad aaphain ok moving ahead another important ab main isko thoda sa short mein kiya hai I would just want to move thoda sa quickly so that we cover saare questions by the time we end this youtube life so she stoopes to conquer se question hai again very very simple questions she stoopes to conquer ko agar aapne normally bhi pada hota so aap ye question aapham se attempt karte british literature kya andar hain patne hai then antonio gramski ki jo work hai prison notebooks waha se question hai literary theory mein aap antonio gramski ko patne hai just a second mai sath sa dikhati jaar hiu taaki aapko pata rahe ki korn writer aapko ka milega marxism ki andar antonio gramski ko hain patne hai now another interesting thing ki aap jab bhi literary theory padein ke tha aapko basic concept pata ho na chie marxism literary theory kya kati hai aapko jutte bhi important writers hai bo aapko pata ho na chie aur unki jo works like gaya hai bo aapko pata ho na chie inke so ne ko term coin kya hai bo aapko pata ho na chie so yaha pe maini yehi like ki jutte bhi famous works hai critics ke unka knowledge aapko huna zeroori hai chie kya ye question boh toh ko autos syllabus laksat hai just because they don't know antonio gramski marxism ki andar panna hota another interesting thing edwards side and feminist essay a room of one's own which is written by virginia was yaha se question hai so literary theory ke andar feminism in post colonial criticism ke andar se question hai a yaha pe agar haum jathe hai post colonial literature mein edwards side doh question is bar aayen edwards side saa ap deki agar aap lucki hua hai toh kain bar aap jo writer patata hai aapko doh tein question aazat hai feminism virginia was se bhi doh question aaya haum ne starting mein question dekha tha jo line di thi virginia was ne keth ke liye boli hai and fir agai inone room of ones own se question dea hai assertion reason question Again, it is a very basic question. If anyone has done basic literary theory, then it is very easy for them. Tennis of Williams, a streetcar named desire. I have got a question from here. Again, I have written a very important note for everyone. American post-colonial European Indian. These 4 literatures are very important. People think that if we have read British literature, then we have become syllabus. You need to read all these American writers. You cannot tell the question from here. We read Tennis of Williams as modern age American writers. I have also shared the PDF. So, this is a novel. I got a Pulitzer Prize, so it is very important to read it. And if you read from this type, you know facts, important quotes, then it becomes very very easy to answer such questions. There is a set in New Orleans. When we will watch the whole video, you will see that it is very important to tell the place. Now, question 28, prose romance. So, they have said that early novels, which one of them is the novel that they call? Now, if you have read Afrabin in British literature, she was the first writer who has written a novel. And if we go here, so when the drama test started, in Restoration Age, after the drama test, when Enlightenment Age came, close writers started, then at the same time in novelist, we read Afrabin. So, Afrabin right here, when we will read drama test in Restoration Age in novelist, then Afrabin is read here. And these two works are unique to Orinoco and Fergill. Then Anna Karenina, again very important, Leo Tolstoy, European writer you cannot miss. This time, I don't know what has happened, but she asked the same writer twice. Anna Karenina has two questions. If you had read this, Leo Tolstoy in Russian literature, it is very easy for you to solve this question. Okay, so again, I have written the same thing again, American post-colonial European literature does not have to be neglected. Then, basic question on New Criticism is very easy, Roland Barth, very very famous critic, he has a question on his work, names like I told you are very important, you remember the name of every book, which is written by a theorist. Raymond Williams, again, is a writer of very important cultural studies, which we read right here, Raymond Williams. There is a question, Calcutta Chromosome, such a simple question, Calcutta Chromosome is a novel, who has written this? Amitabh Ghosh is such a writer who is very important in Indian literature, we never tell any student to read Amitabh Ghosh without going ahead. We have included this here and his first work that we teach is Calcutta Chromosome. This was a very basic question, he asked Calcutta Chromosome, who has written this? It is as similar to somebody asking, who has written Mechbeth, because if you are reading Indian literature, then if you have not read Amitabh Ghosh, then that means you are missing out on a very big thing. Okay, now again, if you see here, publishing orders, all these writers, it is possible that you are thinking that all this is out of syllabus, all this is literary theorist, Trans-Phenon, Homieke Bhava, all these writers will meet you in module number 7 and it is very important to read them. Next, 35. Who of the following was the immediate receder, the presidator of trauma proper? Okay, so if we talk about these types of questions, then the question they have asked, this is a very simple question, they have asked history. They have not asked it from a particular writer, but historically when we read any age, first of all I will give you an introductory lecture, which talks about the historical background, themes, style of that age, what are the political changes of that time. And when we start reading in the Elizabethan age, then I give two lectures before Christopher Marlow, History and Background of English Theatre and Early Elizabethan Plays. This is the question that has come from this, so if I show you, Early Elizabethan Plays, yes. So here we will talk about the interludes, John Heavood, Gorbodark, Ralph Royster-Doyster, Gramer Gertner, Needle, these were some of the first comedies and works to be written, so we will cover these in this, Early Elizabethan Plays. And if you have read the interludes, then it is very important to answer this question for you. Morality Plays, Miracle Plays, we also cover when we talk about the beginning of the drama. So here we talk about Mystery Plays, Miracle Plays, Morality Plays. We will talk about all these plays and then we will see how the theatre in Renissa started and what is the name of the famous theatres, because this is also often asked. For example, what was the first Morality Plays? What was the most important Morality Plays? What changes came in the theatre in Renissa and popular theatres? There is a question in every two to three years, someone gives the name of a theatre and they ask, which theatre did John Griggs make in Renissa? So we know it is Rhodes. So in this way, you have to include these basic details. If only writers will read the notes, then it will not happen. These are the important sections where I will tell you the historic background. What are the important things in this age? Henry VIII, Henry VI wives, then we talk about the Charterist movement, we talk about, if we talk about Victorian age, what happened in industrialization, what happened when Napoleon came, all these things are also asked in the question paper. Again, for those who are asking, I would just want to once again flash the expected cut-off list so that you guys can see what the cut-off is. And you can also analyze if you are following this cut-off or not. Okay, so very, very important. Apart from this, I would also want to talk about, and a few students were asking, what is this offer? So just a quick recap. Basically, in Winter Carnival, we are giving an offer where we want students to start preparing for June exam and for Gate February 2024 attempt. For that, the entire video course that we have, in which Paper 1 and Paper 2 are both included, the actual cost of 6 months, which is the cost of 12 months, is Rs. 18,000. Right now, we are giving it for 50% off, in which you are getting 6 months free. And you are getting it just for Rs. 9,000. You can call my team. My team is going to...

So as I told you, you can go to arpitakarwa.com and click on the past year papers. This page will open in front of you, in which you can go to UGC Net Paper 2, the paper is uploaded. You can go from here and check. The question and answer is both, the official question paper and answer is both uploaded. Okay, let's move ahead to question number 36. I really doubt that I will be able to finish this life in time because I am trying to cover the questions in speed. I would just like to be a little more quick. Okay, Samuel Beckett, waiting for good all, very, very important writer in British literature. We will read them in modern writers. Then we are talking about chronological order. Arkin Narayan, Manohar, Manglorekar, Raja Rao, Shashi Tharoor and Arundhati Roy. So we cover all the other writers except Shashi Tharoor. Shashi Tharoor has never been covered because we have never covered more questions. But you will see all these writers that you will find on this page. And we cover all these writers. So it is very, very important that you read Manohar, Manglorekar, Raja Rao, Arkin Narayan carefully. Questions come from here. We also cover Arundhati Roy. Arundhati Roy is right here. Lesson number 17. Okay, moving ahead. Question number 38. We have talked about Indian dramatists. So when we talk about Indian aesthetics, these are writers of Indian aesthetics. Okay. These are all Bharatmuri, Bama, Dandan, Vamana. These are all people. They founded these schools. They were the founders of these schools. So we read them here. Okay. So Indian aesthetics, again, is very important that you cover this section. Then let's talk about the next question. There is a question on post-colonial theory. Homi's father, again, we saw a question on Indian rise. He has repeated it again and again. What is Niyungi Vaat Khyango? Some people say that he is not a writer. We have never heard of him. I would like to tell you that he is a very famous African writer. We cover him in chapter 20, module number 3, Niyungi Vaat Khyango. So it is very important to read him. So detailed study of post-colonial literature is very important. I would like to say that directly from post-colonial theory we are asking 10-15 questions from literature. Now this is a very interesting question. Leigh Morty D'Earthar is a work of Thomas Mallory which we read in British literature. So most of you who start British literature know that Thomas Mallory is read here. Okay. We read in the age of revival which he wrote this text, Leigh Morty D'Earthar. Just a second. Yes. So he wrote Leigh Morty D'Earthar and his adaptations. We also talk about Leigh Morty D'Earthar. You should know a lot of basic things. You don't have to read it in much detail. You don't have to read it for days. Basic basic things. So many people have written Leigh Morty D'Earthar in their own words. And that is the reason why it becomes very very important, very crucial text. So this was asked here. Leigh Morty D'Earthar. So basic things are very important to know. You have to read it in very simple detail. This is a minor work. But apart from this, the rest of the writers, Leigh Morty all know important old English literature text. Canterbury Tales we know. Divine Comedy. This is Dante's work, Divine Comedy. Dante is Divine Comedy. And Thomas Aquinas's work is Theological. Many people don't know this work. They don't know how to answer this question. So I always tell you that whenever you read criticism, reading theory, it is very important that you study these writers as well. So if we talk about Dante, as you go to European literature, first of all, we study Dante and Thomas Aquinas in Italian literature. So these writers, as you know their works, you can easily attempt this question. So again important thing is to read European writers. European literature writers, Roman writers, Italian writers, Russian writers, German writers, French writers. Moving ahead, again, I have just shown you. In Indian literature, we look at Shri Aurobindo, in poets here. Indian English poet. He had a question to put then 42, which among the following is not mentioned in the aspect of novel by E. M. Foster. Now E. M. Foster, we know for his famous work, Passage to India. But it is very important that you read any novelist or poet. I remember last time, when I was talking about D. H. Lawrence. So D. H. Lawrence is known Thomas Hardy, Thomas Hardy is known for his novels. But the question came from his poems. E. M. Foster is known for his novels. But this time he has done an aspect of novel and a critical text came from there. So if you read any writer, then it is very important that you read their novels and also their critical works. Now again, all the writers, we have just seen Manohar Mangul Olkar and Arkin Arayam. You see, he asked two or three questions from every writer. It is very easy for you to do this. So again, ask your novels and write in Indian literature. Okay. Then we come to the next question which is, this is a very important and interesting question. Many people say where does this question come from and where does it belong. So basically, in our course we have a section in linguistics where we have put some random miscellaneous items. Here you will see a lecture where I will tell you the chronologically history of all the journals and magazines that have come. If you have listened to my lesson then you will see that I have talked about these three magazines. These are 101 Dalmatians. This is actually a movie on dogs. Okay. So the breed of Dalmatians is a movie about dogs. So if someone has seen this movie or knows about the magazines then they can easily answer these questions. Okay. We had talked about Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenira that again, she has asked a question a very famous opening line All happy families are alike Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. This question as it is repeated, was asked 5 years ago in the internet. So again, it is very important that you will not have to know all the important quotes, subtitles, facts. Again, the question came from Bharata which is part of our Indian aesthetics. Then, Adriana Rich We did not cover this writer Toni Morrison is covered. Adriana Rich is not covered in our course. So again, I have highlighted that. Then we will talk about Homi ke Baba again very basic question from literary theory. If someone has read post-colonial literature then he cannot finish post-colonial literature without talking about Edward Said and Homi ke Baba. Homi ke Baba's name is repeated 4th time in the whole paper. So can you literally see the kind of importance they have given to post-colonial literature that same writers have been asked again and again. Okay. Question 50 Genocriticism. Now again, a very simple question If in your literary theory, Alan Schowalter is a very famous feminist writer and if you have read about him then we will cover him here in Feminism Gander Alan Schowalter. If you had read him then you would have known that he has coined this term. Now, I always tell you that if you want to read any literary theory then you should know what are their theorists. What are their theorists' terms and what are their books and what have they told in their books you should cover all these things. Very, very easy question for you. Now, all these writers are of Indian aesthetics so again, if you know Indian aesthetics then you can easily solve these questions. Then with literary terms and devices many people say that literary terms and devices are not a part of syllabus. Even though these are not a part of syllabus they ask questions from it. So if you go to literary terms and devices then we will cover all these terms and devices from where they are asked poetic license, poetic justice parody, satire, soliloquy, types of fiction what are the types of narratives what are the types of characters and presodies in which we talk about what is the Iambic pentameter what is the blank verse, what is the heroic couplet how are these all different what is the rhyme scheme, what is the verse so that when you read a novel or a poem and it says Iambic pentameter then you don't have to read it. You can understand why Iambic pentameter is written in it. Again, we didn't cover these questions in the course. This is a new writer that even I have to study I have no clue about this writer. Then Anna Karan again she asked you three times how important it is any P that is national education policy the policy of 2020 has come from there so again if we talk she has asked this question in the language section she has asked this question now this question of Miquel Foucault so Miquel Foucault has given a very simple concept about which she is talking and she has asked a very simple question if anyone had heard of Miquel Foucault then they would have known that I have talked about a term and they have asked this term normally so it is a very simple question if you have read Miquel Foucault which we read here Miquel Foucault has given a very simple question so you can easily answer this question now four novelists Joseph Conrad we know is from American literature Gustav Klobert, Arkin Arayan and Nadine Gardner now these writers they have given four of them American, post-colonial, European, Indian they have given four of them if we talk about these writers so here we read in Chinua Achubek's and we know is in Indian literature then if we talk about Flaubert sorry European man Gustav Flaubert right here in French writer and Joseph Conrad Joseph Conrad we know is from American literature we read here so if you are looking at it that you know that this is out of the syllabus so this is not this is only because you have not studied these writers Joseph Conrad sorry next, Sigmund Freud again a very simple question from psychoanalytical school of criticism which we read in literary theory psychoanalytical criticism first the most important writer is Freud ok then we talk again now they have given four terms and names of four literary theorists Mikhail Bhaktan Raymond Williams and William M. and they have to match it is a very simple question if you have read the terms of these four writers and if you have read their books then you can easily solve this question it is a question about Thomas Hardy so Thomas Hardy is a very important writer we all know he did not ask a question from Summary he did not ask a character but he asked which novel was published in an unabridged form ok so again what you have to understand is not only from Summary opening closing line, code, subtitle what was the title earlier it is very important to study other facts the question on Francis Bacon many students told me that this was a very difficult time so we read Francis Bacon's essays it is very important I always tell students that you are reading essays but some minor works are necessary for every writer you cannot read major works of any writer you cannot clear the net important writers like Francis Bacon they read essays what they want to understand is whether you have read their minor works now reading minor works does not mean you have to read their works in detail some basic things you should not know the story of Magna is divided in 6 parts what are the names of those 6 parts new method, novel this work he explained the new logic and inductive method of reasoning talking about new system of logic he told that's why this work is important if you know so many things then you can solve these questions easily now we will talk about these questions again he has given 4 terms if you have read literary theories if you know the terms then you can easily find out the meaning of these terms the character of Jane Austen novel Persuasion has been asked as I told you all the novel characters are very important so characters, important lines, detail study are very important William Blake now many people ask how to solve this question by reading poems again what is important here is that if you are reading William Blake songs of innocence and experience in which we have talked about many poems which he has written songs of innocence and experience like Divine image, Holy Thursday Little Boy Lost and Little Boy Found now if you see here so we have talked about Lamp and Chimney Sweeper we have talked about Holy Thursday which we have mentioned we have talked about it name the poet who has composed the following poems now if you want to ask a minor writer then he gives 4-5 if you know if you know that William Blake has written Holy Thursday then if you don't know then the conclusion is that William Blake has written so in this way you don't need to know the small things of every poem okay moving ahead according to Greek mythology John Keats, Ode to Psyche are very important they always give a half question from John Keats or Shadi's Ode again literally 3 devices of terms and devices they have given here we have covered it so all these devices we have covered here you will get Metronomy and Cynecdochic hyperbole Cynecdochic hyperbole here is Metronomy here is Cynecdochic here is so all these you will get here Peripheroses we have not covered I will add this in my course again one question in this video they said they have asked question from a sports person again something that they have deliberately put to drop the cutout because this technically is not a part of literature canon but still it is a work written in English so it can be asked in the paper moving ahead so 4 works and 4 authors very simple again these 4 theorists we cover some have commented on where they are so in literary theory here we are you will get trans phenomenon in postcolonial so you will get these writers if you remember the terms and book titles you can easily do this question the question is on D.H.Lawrence's Sun's in Lover someone asked how to solve it now you have to focus on details I will show you one thing you will not get direct questions but when you are solving the question you can connect with the other novels and solve it we talk about D.H.Lawrence's minor works in which if you look at rainbow it is clearly mentioned that it is based on the Braggwin family rainbow and women in love it is based on sisters so here when you know women in love and rainbow is based on this you can easily do this because when you read Sun's in Lover you know it is based on the model family and it is not based on the Braggwin family now the question is on P.B. Shelley again the question is on P.B. Shelley's main out-to-the-west wind so again if you have studied minor works you can easily solve this I will show you I think I have fint if we talk about P.B. Shelley I don't think I have put that P.D.F here but anyway I wanted to tell you P.B. Shelley is a minor work written by Lord Byron so if you know that Lord Byron has written then you might not know P.B. Shelley's intellectual beauty but if you know that Byron has written then you can easily solve this okay now the question is on Foucault again with the cultural studies here there are two works one is on V.S. Naipaul and the other is on Anand Giridhar Das V.S. Naipaul you will find and Bharti Mukherjee Salman Rushdie so Bharti Mukherjee here V.S. Naipaul you will find in post-colonial V.S. Naipaul British diaspora and one more writer post-colonial studies can not be done so these are the three works but we are going to add this in our course very very soon then on Arthur Miller many works have been talked about that Arthur Miller get general answers on Arthur Miller like we give these four lectures where we talk about Arthur Miller's biography and basic minor works about which we give some details then the crucible work we read in detail All My Sons again a very interesting play, three act play we read it in detail and Death of a Salesman which is very canonical work we read it in detail so when you study you know minor works, biography major works then you can solve this type of questions so I would categorize this as a moderate to difficult level question because you need a lot of understanding in order to attempt these questions correctly Julia Cristiva again she has talked about the concept of Kora so if you know titles and terms then you can solve it easily literary criticism question again very very interesting all four works are not part of British literature Daniel Defoe is of course British literature, Albert Kamu European, Dostoevsky Teodor Dostoevsky-Russian and Gabriel Garcia Marquis Love in the Time of Kolera all the three works are from European literature and that is the reason why it is important to read the works of Daniel Defoe and British literature work of Kamu is very famous please read it very very interesting writer Albert Kamu, Gustav Claubert and then if we talk about here we have Dostoevsky and Gabriel Garcia Marquis Dostoevsky is and Gabriel Garcia Marquis is right here right here just a second okay why am I not able to find Gabriel Garcia Marquis I think I have seen so many texts that my eyes have given up on me okay another interesting thing here about cultural imperialism is Stanley Fish people read important writers like Raymond Gilliam but they forget to read minor writers Stanley Fish is one of those minor literary theorists which is very important to read we have talked about new historicists about Dalit writing new historicism we cover here I just showed you new historicism is right here here we cover part of cultural studies we have talked about university widths literary movement as I told you in renaissance comedy of humor mass poetry renaissance literary groups but as we have seen transferentialism and I think last year he asked a question on angry young man group now again very important American Transcendence Tinker Henry David Therao if you are reading romantic literature of American age American romantic age American writer of romantic age Henry David Therao and Ralph Waldo Emerson okay and my throat has given up I have said continuously I don't think that I will be able to speak long because I would like to quickly cut short. Emily again question so characters name how what are they talking about so again very very interesting question very simple question novel and subtitle I will just show you very quickly Castle of Otranto so let's start with Nari Shadi's Frankestine so first of all we should know Modern Prometheus its subtitle is given here any work you read it is very important to know the titles of it Castle of Otranto then we are talking about Tess of the Derbable Tess of the Derbable is right here here we are talking about pure women faithfully presented again subtitle is right here and then we have Vanity Fair my eyes have stopped identifying I think okay Vanity Fair subtitle and novel without a hero okay so you will see whenever you read any text the first introduction you have to read is subtitle there is another basic closing line inspired by John Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress you have to read this so again just don't read Frankestine's Sambri apart from Sambri you need to read many other things it is a question of cultural industry it is a question of periodical as I told you we give a lecture of journals and periodicals in module 10 Antonio Grams' very important literary theory is there it is a question of Michael Bakhtin it is a question of Absurd Theater again it is a third question University with Transcendentalism Absurd Theater so it is very important to read all these literary groups here you will get Absurd Poets Theater of Absurd right here in postmodern age okay so with that note we come to the end of the paper analysis then they have matched the line that is based on your comprehension capacity what you are looking to do with your previous knowledge of literature so if you see this way if you want you can also play this video again once it goes into the live video section on youtube so that you exactly know what I have written I have written this very carefully in order to tell you exactly who you have to focus on topics for your next preparation and as I told you the cutoff will not go away because the paper wasn't tough it was easy it was just not from the canonical writers as it has never been that case in UGC net if we talk about John Clare like romantic writers questions have also come from there so it was very important that you maintain a very fine balance with major novelists, major writers and minor writers this time it was very emphasis on Indian literature, postcolonial literature don't neglect it in the next time whenever you start preparing and I hope the entire paper will make more sense to you once you go through this module like syllabus and you chart out the writers and topics that you did not study as I have already told you you can find the past year papers on the website it is uploaded on our official website both paper one and paper two I did not get time to analyse paper one because I was so engrossed in like speaking to students and talking to them about how was their experience with um um you know paper two and that is the reason why I was able to like give you a full fledged overview so that you know that the paper wasn't tough it wasn't out of syllabus it is just that you might not be so well prepared ok so with that note I would like to take your leave that's it from my side for this video lecture I will meet you very soon in the next video lecture till the time we meet next happy birthday sorry I am so sorry I just read something on screen and that is the reason why there are happy learning and keep having literature stay tuned to www.arpatakarba.com
